État de la populationExpert

Zamia montana is known from very few subpopulations (two subpopulations identified to date). Some demographic studies have been carried out for the species, that suggest that known subpopulations have small numbers of adults (less than 250 individuals). The total population size could be less that 500 adults. It is somewhat possible that the species has more subpopulations (although several field trips have been done in search of the species), therefore further research on population distribution and abundance is required.

Description complète des menacesExpert

The two known subpopulations of the species occur in landscapes threatened with high deforestation rates, caused by agricultural and urban expansion, mostly forest destruction for cattle ranching and crops. The forest patches where subpopulations remain are small (less than 500 hectares) and they are degraded by human activities like logging.

Mesures de conservation recommandéesExpert
Some conservation actions have been intended for the species, as it is listed on a threatened-species resolution in Colombia and in CITES Appendix II, therefore Colombian environmental authorities are required to prevent and mitigate negative impacts of human activities on this threatened species and to regulate its international commerce. In addition, Colombia launched in 2015 a conservation action plan for Cycads, and in the last few years the “Colombian Cycad Society” has been working to promote population and habitat protection and restoration of small populations for Zamia species in the country, complemented with conservation actions related to research, monitoring, communication and education, among others.

Zamia montana
 is not present within protected areas. The subpopulations are present within a "National Forest Reserve", but the habitat is not effectively protected in the reserve. The species has ex situ collections in botanical gardens in Colombia (Medellin Garden), that include adult individuals recently rescued (year 2017) from one of the subpopulations where the forest is being destroyed. Urgent actions are required to improve population and habitat viability in the long term. The conservation action plan for Colombian Cycads has proposed specific actions for the species, however there is no species conservation strategy properly funded to this date.
